charlieuniformtango teamed up with TRG for the new “Together, We’re More” campaign for the Choctaw Nation. The new :60 and two :30 spots feature tribal members stating (some in native Choctaw) “I am more than…a fireman, a teacher, a healer, a pastor…“I am Choctaw Proud”– and ending with a large gathering of the Choctaw tribe in the shape of the Great Seal of the Choctaw Nation, with one tribal member stepping forward to say, “We are the Choctaw Nation, and Together, We’re More.”

The beautiful and moving spots were all shot in Oklahoma’s Choctaw Nation.

The Choctaw Nation is the third-largest Indian Nation in the United States with more than 212,000 tribal members and 12,000-plus associates. This ancient people has an oral tradition dating back over 13,000 years. The first tribe over the Trail of Tears, its historic reservation boundaries are in the southeast corner of Oklahoma, covering 10,923 square miles. The Choctaw Nation’s vision, “Living out the Chahta Spirit of faith, family and culture,” is evident as it continues to focus on providing opportunities for growth and prosperity.

“This project was such a perfect fit for Andy and Ashton. Their ability to capture the true spirit of these individuals lends credibility to the message. It really was an honor to work on such an impactful campaign,” Hal Dantzler, charlieuniformtango Executive Producer, said. Learn more at www.choctawnation.com
